Example of Petrel well production (*.vol) file
This example shows how production is specified for the well P1 and injection for the well I1.
The *METRIC keyword indicates that the units are metric thus the gas and liquid rates are given in sm3.
The *DAILY keyword defines the rates to be daily.
The producing well P1 has production rates for oil, water and gas (*OIL, *WATER and *GAS) but no water injection (*WINJ). The injector well, I1 has no oil, water or gas production, but it injects water for the same time period.
For the whole list of production field keywords consult Petrel manual.
